Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Resource management error
EUVDB-ID: #VU22704
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 5.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11135
CWE-ID:
CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the TSX Asynchronous Abort (TAA) in Intel CPUs. The TAA condition, on some microprocessors utilizing speculative execution, may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel. MitigationInstall updates from vendor's website.

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.
How the attacker can exploit this vulnerability?
The attacker would have to trick the victim to open a a specially crafted file.
The attacker would have to login to the system and perform certain actions in order to exploit this vulnerability.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability. However, proof of concept for this vulnerability is available.
2) Heap-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU25510
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 5.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-1711
CWE-ID:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the way the iSCSI Block driver handles a response coming from an iSCSI server while checking the status of a Logical Address Block (LBA) in an "iscsi_co_block_status()" routine. A remote authenticated attacker can trigger heap-based buffer overflow and cause a denial of service condition or potentially execute arbitrary code with privileges of the QEMU process on the host.
